How to Wear a Headover?

Published in Outdoor Gear 2 mins read

Wearing a headover (also known as a neck gaiter or Buff) is simple and versatile, allowing for many different styles and uses. Here's a basic way to wear it:

  1. Start with the headover in its tube form.

  2. Pull it over your head. This is the same way you would put on a closed loop necklace.

  3. Position it around your neck. Let it rest comfortably around your neck.

  4. Adjust for desired coverage. From this position, you can adapt it to numerous configurations:

    • Face Mask: Pull the top edge up over your mouth and nose. Tuck the leading edge under your chin for a more secure fit. This can offer protection from sun, wind, dust, or cold.

    • Neck Warmer: Leave it around your neck to provide warmth.

    • Headband: Fold the headover in half or scrunch it up and wear it around your forehead to keep hair out of your face or absorb sweat.

    • Beanie: Turn the headover inside out. Place one end on your head and pull the other end up and over, creating a beanie-like hat.

    • Balaclava: Pull the headover over your head and then pull the front edge up to cover your nose and mouth, leaving only your eyes exposed.

The versatility of a headover makes it a great accessory for various outdoor activities. The ability to adjust it easily allows you to respond to changing conditions on the go.
